Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a 13×9-inch baking dish with butter-flavor cooking spray.
Unroll one pie crust and fit it into the bottom of the baking dish, trimming any excess dough around the edges.
In a large bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and slightly beaten eggs until smooth. Stir in the chopped pecans.
Pour half of the filling over the bottom crust. Roll out the second crust and place it over the filling, pressing edges to fit. Spray the top crust lightly with butter-flavor cooking spray.
Bake for 14-16 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Spoon the remaining filling over the baked crust and arrange pecan halves on top.
Bake for an additional 30 minutes until the filling is set and the pecans are toasted.
Cool for about 20 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
Notes
For added flavor, drizzle warm caramel sauce over each serving.
